About me

I have a huge passion for bringing brands to life, releasing their full potential and strengthening the connection between them and their fans.
I feel that standard advertising/marketing no longer has such a strong impact in today’s world. The “Pepsi Generation” is over. The market is becoming so crowded that we are choosing to zone out from all the noise around us. Brands now really have to connect and engage with their customers to earn their trust, in order to turn them into fans, not just customers. The brands that really understand this and focus on their true fans are the ones thriving.
Monster is a great example of this. They have invested all their resources into cultivating brand love by converting their target market into fans who then go on to influence and recruit mainstream customers, resulting in a marketing team of millions.
Scotch & Soda, in my opinion, is another example of a brand that is nailing it. Their recent marketing campaign ‘The Story of Things,” combined with their collaboration with Airbnb offers fans a platform to connect with the brand on a never imaginable level. The chance for them to live and breath the brand, in the place the brand was born, Amsterdam. For me, this highlights how Scotch & Soda’s is more than just a clothing brand. It offers you a platform to succeed, enabling you to be the best you can be and connects with their fans on a whole new level. People don’t buy a product for its content; they buy it for its context, for what it stands for and what it means to them.
I am currently looking for a new opportunity to help enable brands to be the best they can be. I feel I have a lot to offer and would thrive in succeeding if given the chance…

Creative Director

Liberate Media

Jan 2015

Full Time

Liberate Media is a creative agency I started in my spare time last year, specialising in branding and digital marketing. But due to client’s needs and success, (quadrupling some client’s social media following in 3 months and hitting 60 million YouTube views with another) this has become a full time job since October this year.
Liberate believes your brand isn't what you say it is, its what your fans say it is. We are based on earned media; turning your customers into advocates. Why have a marketing campaign that cost your thousands when you can have a marketing team of thousands?
